Dosent itch doesnt hurt
Dosent itch doesnt hurt
Brief Answer:
Seems to be genital wart, skin biopsy to confirm
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through the pictures you sent in and noted the bump you are referring.
As long as it doesn't itch, or hurt and noted just recently, it seems to be a genital wart.
However, a skin biopsy is advised to confirm it.
Usually, it can be left untreated as might subside on its own.
It is great that your last pap test resulted negative. You should keep doing regular pap tests.
Hope it answered to your query!

I have never been told i have HPV how could i get it? I have been married 4 years
Brief Answer:
explained below
Detailed Answer:
Hi back my dear,
Genital warts can be transmitted through sexual activities and by sharing utensils with infected people especially if you visit gym, SPA or other public activities and if your husband does not have any similar lesion.
In your case, if the bump appeared recently, it might be wart. To confirm/rule it out, I advise to run further biopsy and a close examination by a dermatologist.
If the bump was always there and not just showed up, then, it might be a skin nevus. Once again, skin biopsy can confirm it.
Take care!
